I have commited an ATA driver in the ata branch. It works fine in emulators but there might still be some issues on real hardware. Currently the driver just uses ATA PIO mode which is slow. We should later switch to DMA transfers.

To be actually useful, a filesystem implementation is also needed, so I filed issue #25 for that.
